Tuesday was a crazy day in my city/county. The number of cases rose from 4 to 19 in my county in the space of a weekend. I’ve learned that there have been positive tests in three separate companies with campuses to the west all within a mile of my building.
But it didn’t stop there. My property management left a note on everyone’s door this afternoon that a resident with preexisting medical conditions had a high fever and was transported to a hospital while they are tested for COVID19.
Results will take one to five days. In the meantime all community areas were closed for a deep cleaning, we were asked to remain in their apartments and not visit others (we can go outside though, so Edele got and will get her daily walks, one or two walks roughly totaling a mile and a half). The closure of the common areas means even our mailboxes can’t be checked, and deliveries are limited to groceries. And one of the elevators was out of commission whether that’s related I honestly don’t know, we’ve a lot of service issues with those since last summer?
In any event the rise in cases statewide in accelerating, which is not a good thing, and even though the mayors of the state’s two largest cities have pleaded for a remain in place order, the governor is refused claiming that she’s following some sort of matrix to make her decisions. By the time she gets to that point, it’ll be too late to prevent a major outbreak throughout the state, 33 of our 99 counties have cases, and one fatality that occurred Sunday.

Hope things improve, and glad they are taking cleaning seriously.
Give Edele a hug from me!

I'm in Tolland County, Connecticut. USA. My town has a couple cases.
What really sucks about this whole thing is that I'm considered "essential" and have to go to work. I work in a retail store that sells "essential" items (and I'm using that term very loosely). Before this Stay Safe act went into play, my store was filled up with people who would be buying those so-called items in bulk. Phone calls off the hook asking for them. "We don't have any. No calls for X department." Please stop calling us about that!
Now, they're only letting 50 people in at once. This is so crazy. I don't feel like I should be working while this is going on.

This IS a scary time. I am so sorry. But with good planning you can possibly make this work.
Ask that your manager supply masks. If not, make one. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer as often as possible. Stay 4-6 feet away from customers.
Put in writing your requests to your manager in a nice way. That way you have documentation.
If it seems undoable you can decide if quitting is an option. But know that this could go on for months....

Update:
My property has two buildings. The hospitalized resident tested negative and lives in the other building. The property management has decided to maintain the stricter routine. They’ve also decided to not have any face to face meetings with any resident on anything.
Meanwhile the governor here still refuses to puta remain in shepherd order, even though two of our neighboring states have now done so. The number of cases statewide rose substantially in the last day, about 17 percent, and there are cases in 37 of the states 99 country in all areas of the state. Extending the order for only a week? When it’s clear we haven’t peaked out yet? And the school closure order now extends to April 17. The shortness of the extensions, to me, is just foolhardy.
